Haven't posted on my own thread in a while. Just finished painting my rims flat black and installed an Injen CAI about a month ago. Here are a couple of pics of how the rims turned out...

^ Very nice! Though I'm moderately distracted by the rust on the rotors. (I know, you just washed it and haven't driven it yet...) Though it really does look good. Hopefully I'll have time to do mine this weekend.
And glad to have you posting on your build thread again!!!

THe rust accumulates when you don't drive much... I've had my car since October and have around 3500 miles on it... have a company truck for work so anytime the wife wants something from town I volunteer to go get it so I can ride. Rust is there because of the horrible tornadic weather we had this week. At least it wasn't as bad here as it was in AL

Unfortunately... no. I kept having issues with the top side of the tail light where the major 90deg turn is. I have another set, just haven't attempted install yet. The first ones where a little too small and I believe if they would have been larger, I could have strectched them. If the new ones dont work out, I'll probably just buy and oversized piece of tinting vinyl that I can strecth easily and then cut the excess.
And i looked at the build you sent me... clean and I think I will eventually have a little more accenting marks in there.

I left them on the car because I have been told that it can be tricky to use vinyls on free moving object because it is hard to apply pressure without the object moving around. I myself would think that it would be easier to take them off, but... who knows.

Wow! Looks good. You should do lime green wheels to match though! I would like to know what you did to get the dash that color. Did you put material over it? Paint? Vinyl?
Anyway, glad to see an update.

Speaking of vinyl though, I am currently checking into vinyl wrapping my car in flat black. I'm getting quotes at the moment and deciding whether I want to do vinyl wrap or paint.
Thanks... Took me a couple of hours and I still have a couple of bubbles here and there and the top of the tails have some wrinkles. I have come to the conclusion that "my" attempts to vinyl the tails has failed. I tried to seek professional help, but the tint shop said that they wouldn't do it, but that the ones I did looked good for a beginner doing them.
